I need USB, 20 Jun 2012- What about USB?
Mass Storage Device, to connect the phon... moreToday was a event for developer, not final users. most of the things your asking about is final user functionality.
USB should exist, because it has driver support of Windows 8 and it has removable storage (think it's hot swap also) and that should also mean it has a visible file system.
Just in case... I hope this will be true :)

- What about USB?
Mass Storage Device, to connect the phone to your PC and transfer files
USB Host, to connect a flash drive to the phone, as well as keyboards, mouse, whatever USB peripheral
- Video out? HDMI? MHL?
- What about Wi-Fi Direct, and DLNA?
- And what about Microsoft SmartGlass support?

What people failed to understand was that every flagship that Nokia outed after January 2011 was a transitional product... They were not there to compete with the top smartphones, they were there to collect the trends, needs and mindset of the consumers...
1. The first step was N9 with a breath taking design. Once it was launched Nokia knew that they have hit it right with the design. Moreover, they also gained the info regarding peoples' behavior towards simplicity.
2. Once hardware was right on the money, they changed the software with the one they were willing to go with. There were many criticisms and few approving nods. But they kept their head down and released the advanced version of it.
3. Nokia Lumia 900: That was one of the most crucial steps that had to be taken with utmost care and consumer friendliness. The introduction of the product. That's why they sold it at a very aggressive pricing. How it was taken by the consumers? We all know. Wasn't a very warm reception but caused a few stirs.
4. Now it was time to bring in the Nokia factor. An extra ordinary surprise and innovation that will blow everyone away. And Nokia 808 PureView surfaced. What did it do? It made many heads to turn towards Nokia again. "Throw that at Lumia and I am sold." We saw thousands of comments like this. And that was exactly what Nokia was cooking. :)
That's the way companies with vision work. They don't join the mad race of making money while they could have done so with ease and the art they bring into the industry. They keep their heads down, go thru a transition, listen to criticism and then come up with something that stands out of the crowd.
Maybe Nokia was not as dumb as we thought it to be. Maybe Elop was not wrong with his "unpopular" moves and explanations. Time will tell!
Waiting for a water proof sturdy device molded into one of the best designs ever, powered by Windows Phone 8 boasting a multi core processor with HD Clear Black floating display and bragging a PureView camera with Rich recording technology!

"The multitasking-related improvements go on - location-based apps (like SatNav and so on) can work in the background even if you leave them to check a message, for example."
ROTFL. What an impressive feature. For the year 2002 maybe.
